How To Make Deodorant
Make sure that you’ve securely attached the spray nozzle to the bottle before you shake it to avoid spilling any of the mixture. Label product and store at room temperature. Shelf stable for at least one year, depending on quality of ingredients used.
You can buy arrowroot powder in the baking section of most natural food stores or online. I would love for you to try this again and let me know how you do. You may want to do a little extra research on switching to a natural, organic deodorant to help give you a better understanding of what to expect. Oh…also, good idea with the essential oils.
And I am so happy about how it turned out. Deitra – you will receive all new posts by email, but each day I try to share one or more older posts on Facebook for those who are new to the site. This post was originally published in 2011. Just bought Lavilin for the first time. I will try it in combination with your tips and let you know how it goes.
Even natural crystal antiperspirants contain some aluminum in the form of potassium alum or ammonium alum. The elderflower scented infused oil is mixed with beeswax to create moisturising cream that deserves the attention of every woman. This highly scented and effective rose oil is a must have item in your household.

Here you can find all sorts of homemaking and simple living inspiration, scratch recipes, and items for the home. Extremely excited to try this as the baking soda often gives me a rash. Interesting to add DE though and I happen to have some as have been using in my smoothies lately.
It’s without the use of baking soda, so you don’t have to worry about it irritating your skin. Unfortunately, it takes more time than going to the store. But it lasts a lot longer and is a whole lot healthier! In my pursuit of healthy armpits, I finally stumbled upon a natural homemade deodorant recipe that works and is still natural.
And yeah, coconut oil and baking soda sounds like a recipe for a lot of greasy underarm stain removal lol. I discovered your website yesterday and can’t seem to stray very far from it. I would love to try a less expensive aluminum free deodorant, so this recipe seems a perfect option for me. I was just wondering if you have any residue on your clothing after using it. I have read that baking soda can cause irritation, can I substitute with arrowroot powder.
Also, there is no real proof that baking soda does actually absorb odors. If you choose to not use it, there are alternatives. Put shea butter and coconut oil (olive oil for coconut-free) in the small glass jar. And essential oils (I have listed some essential oil blends at the end of this post. You can pick anyone from them). Scroll down to make the homemade deodorant without baking soda. Each of us has a unique body chemistry, which is why scents such asthis vanilla body spraysmell different on different people.
It did take a while for my body to get used to it; if I recall correctly it was about a month. The side effects are some excessive sweating and some body odor, you just have to get past it . I found that it doesn’t matter if I use a little bit or a lot, it works! (So use a little.) I also found Self-Care out that if I use my Olive Oil based Healing Salve before the deodorant, it does NOT work that well, if at all. However, if I use Coconut Oil before the deodorant, it works just fine. (I just put the Healing Salve on last.) Overall this is an awesome recipe that I will continue to use.
I “cooked” up a batch yesterday and I have a few questions. I ordered some of your deo from Etsy and I found it much more grainy than the stuff I made. My measurements may have been off by a few grams but I was almost spot on with everything. BTW, I used lemon, tea tree and ginger EOs and it smells wonderful. I’m using it today so hopefully I won’t be whiffy by the end of the day. No, Diatomaceous Earth has been used in skincare products for years and years and years.
Well, they have some of it has serious safety issues. Combine all ingredients except essential oils in a double boiler. Make one for yourself by putting water in a sauce pan and bringing it to a boil. Set a large glass measuring cup or glass bowl in the sauce pan over the water.
I’m reading some of your blog & have a few ideas to share. You can buy empty deodorant tubes then you don’t have to worry ‘bout the toxins from the original deod/antiperspirant. There’s now 5 items that are GM - canola, soy, cotton, corn , & now beet sugar. Best to get organic & be sure it says No GMO’s. I do have some evidence that some people have trouble with the cornstarch.
I have been using this concoction for many years, and have shared it with many. I wish I could remember who gave me the recipe so I could credit them! The biggest complaint is that “I still stink” or “I still sweat”, but those who hung in there ended up loving it. As for the stink, I believe your body does take a few weeks to adjust — as well as expel all the chemicals & junk from your pores (that’s my unscientific opinion). I was admittedly a little stinky in the beginning, but my body adjusted and well, I stank no more!
The sticky part over the clot, not over your skin. It absorb all the sweet and the cloth stay dry. Of course this works only if you use non see-through cloth. I was going to be rather upset with you about slamming DIY deodorant and championing factory made chemical products which I no longer use any example of including shampoos.
